Acclaim Subscriptions
Reviews and Complaints

Hi There.
I have had a Subscription fee of $194.70 that you have TAKEN out of my account.
This is illegal. Can you please return the funds back otherwise i will need to take other actions.

Crap.. I should have read reviews before subscribing.. It's been almost 8 months and we have not received the copy of Popular Mechanics. Have sent several mails and I am getting the reply by one Mr Carlos that issues would be coming in such and such time and that time is never coming.

Reference #9873 with a charge on 12/06/12. I was charged with a subscription to something by Acclaim Subscrptions, Tel. No. [protected], FL in the amount of $34.49. I do not order any magazines that cost that much money. I would like to know what this is for and why I was charged with this amount.

I am realizing that I too have been scammed by this fake company.
My story is similar to all of you who have posted a review. I got a reply by a Carlos for my first email of complaint about not receiving my magazine subscription. He told me to wait another 2 weeks. But still nothing, zero, nada. I have sent 2 other emails, no reply. ###. They are probably from Nigeria as they are well known for scams like this. ### I will spread this all over social media and anything else I can. Ripping off innocent people. I will report them too after I finish this post.
I am fuming!

Same problem here. I ordered a suscription to Design Issues from Spain in June 2013 and received nothing. Requested a refund but did not get any reply. Scammers!

I am experiencing the same thing.
In March 2013, I ordered my subscription of Cosmopoltian US from Hong Kong and didn't mind paying the extra for international shipping fees. I was told that the first issue would be June 2013 and I was even told that if I didnt receive it by the end of the month that I should contact them.
When I did - nothing. NO acknowledgement of my claim. NOTHING.
Now I am requesting them for a refund. But probably not likely that I will receive anything. Anyone successful at getting a refund from scammers like them?

I have thought the same as you all.
I bought a subscription on September 2012 and to date I have never received a magazine. I made ​​several complaints and the responses have been the type: you must verify your address, zip code, we'll talk to the editor, we have obtained a new shipping date, etc.
A few weeks ago the fraud division of my bank (Banco Santander) has blocked the credit card used for the purchase to detect suspects charged in Europe.
Unfortunately, I think that I will forfeit the $ 40 spent on suscrpción.
I'm afraid you are a gang of swindlers.

Me ha ocurrido lo mismo que a todos ustedes.
Comprés una suscripción el septiembre de 2012 y a la fecha nunca he recibido una revista. He realizado varios reclamos y las respuestas han sido del tipo: hay que verificar su dirección, codigo postal, hablaremos con el editor, hemos obtenido una nueva fecha de envío, etc.
Hace algunas semanas la división antifraude de mi banco (Banco Santander) ha bloqueado la tarjeta de crédito que utilicé para la compra al detectar cargos sospechos en Europa.
Lamentablemente, creo que daré por perdido los US$40 gastados en la suscrpción.
Me temo que son una banda de estafadores.

Same story from me.
I ordered and paid for, a Scientific American (Canada) subscription for a friend's 80th birthday on August 24t 2011. I was informed that the estimated Delivery Date would be November 02 - December 14, 2012.
It still hasn't arrived 20 February 2013.
I tried to find out what had happened and the web page told me that my email address did not exist (I've been using the same one for the past 10 years). Then I tried phoning them, and leaving a return phone number, but nothing has happened.
They have their money, and someone tried to compromise my credit card...not sure if it was them. Now I have a new credit card...with all the associated problems.
DON'T USE THIS COMPANY.

I am also a dissatisfied customer of Acclaim Subscriptions. I ordered a comic subscription for my granddaughter which never arrived. Then my credit card was used to purchase electronic equipment in New York which fortunately my bank picked up and so the card was cancelled. I wish now that I had researched this company before I purchased anything. I have not tried to reach them by phone but the email address is no longer valid.
Avoid this company
